The Validator is a fine service, and I'm sure I should use it more often than I do. I do have one simple suggestion for an option that would make checking some specs easier. At present, if a link is to something within the W3C Domain I get a warning, in a line in blue, that I had better substitute a public link. Indeed that is what will happen when the document is moved to TR status due to the relative nature of the links involved. In the meantime, I get literally thousands of such blue lines from the MathML spec, which I have to ignore. Would it be possible to provide an option of not warning for links within W3C? I agree that one needs eventually to have excised private links for publication, but in the meanwhile it seems not to be making the process of validation easier. On a second front, I note that the CSS Validator will not validate (at least for me coming from outside the W3C) the MathML document draft at the Validator site. There is an access fault, it reports. I know that in principle I can download a form of the Validator, even to this Mac environment, or I could switch to Windows to use the tool. However, if it ran on the W3C documents, like the other comma functions of the validation site, this would be handier. Best regards, Patrick Ion
